You have probably heard before that people tend to
be visual, auditory or kinesthetic. In my experience, this is true and it is
something you can generally pick up on within just a few minutes of meeting the
average person.
Understanding what you are is something that can help you
understand what sort of work you should be doing, the sorts of people you
should be working with, the people you should be spending your time with, and
the type of environment that will make you happy.
Throughout the average day, we are making hundreds
of decisions about various things. Most of the decisions we make are not based
on pure analysis but, instead, on how we perceive and interpret the world. A
good part of this perception is based on whether or not we are primarily
visual, auditory or kinesthetic.
People who are visual tend to act based on
representations of how things “look” and “appear”. When visual people speak,
they say things like “it looks like” or “it appears” or “as I see it”. Their
descriptions of the world and of their experiences tend to be based on how
things look not how they feel or sound.
Auditory:
People who are auditory tend to act based on
representations they make to themselves about how things “sound” to them. They
would be more likely to say they “hear what you are saying” than they “see what
you are saying”, for example.
Kinesthetic:
People who are kinesthetic tend to act based on how
things “feel” to them. When they speak to you they will talk about things like
“sensing” and “feeling” and “getting in touch” with various concepts before
making decisions.
